'American Experience' about JFK's life

As others focus on John Kennedy's death, "Experience" looks at his life.

There were medical crises, as he deteriorated to a skeletal 120 pounds. There was his casual approach to school, women and work; he agreed to chair a committee on the grounds that it would never meet.

But then there was his remarkable ability to grow at the right times - from a Pacific Ocean rescue to the Cuban missile crisis to a (very) belated stance on civil rights. It's a dramatic story, told in rich detail.

OTHER CHOICES INCLUDE:

? "Dancing With the Stars," 8-10:01 p.m., ABC. Brant Daugherty was sent home last week, leaving only six people - Jack Osbourne, Bill Engvall, Corbin Bleu, Leah Remini, Amber Riley and Elizabeth Berkley Lauren. Tonight, they do a duet with their pro partners and a trio number, adding an ousted person.

? "The Voice," 8-10:01 p.m., NBC. The top 12 people sing and viewers vote. Two will be ousted Tuesday.

? "The Bible," 8-10 p.m., History. Sprawling, ambitious and (we thought) rather heavy-handed, this mini-series was a huge ratings hit. Now it will rerun over five Mondays, sweeping us into Christmastime.

? "Mom," 9:30 p.m., CBS. Christy had decided her early dates with Adam should be chaste - a concept unfamiliar to her, her mother or her teen daughter. That may change during a weekend getaway.

? "The Blacklist," 10:01 p.m., NBC. Just as she learns of a plan to destroy the U.S. financial system, Liz hears that a family member is ill.
